We’re drowning over here. Friday I decided it was time to start bringing the contents of the storage unit over to the house to get them organized and properly packed for the move. One car load of stuff, three large trash cans of garbage later, and the chaos ensued. My cousin came to pick up… Continue Reading

I wish you could have seen M’s face while we were eating these lettuce wraps. It was hilarious. M is not a tofu fan, and despite my having fed him tofu multiple times, this was finally his breaking point. Too much tofu! (Thank goodness I tweaked the original recipe to add in some sauteed vegetables,… Continue Reading

As much as I love to cook, some nights I just don’t have the motivation in me. In the colder months, those nights mean grilled cheese and tomato soup. I keep a carton or two of Trader Joe’s Tomato & Roasted Red Pepper Soup on hand, and I’ll grab a loaf of bread and nice… Continue Reading

One of the best parts of Summer is being able to throw a bunch of vegetables on the grill and call it dinner. The grilled vegetables take a few minutes to prep and cook, but the result is a healthy, build your own taco bar with perfectly grilled vegetables accented by the slightest bit of… Continue Reading

To me, stir fries are like salads. You don’t really need a recipe. Just toss a bunch of stuff that goes well together into a pan and 10 minutes later, Viola! Dinner. I found a package of tofu in the back of the fridge. I was glad to see it because protein-wise, this pantry challenge… Continue Reading

I love to cook. I love going in the kitchen with a glass of wine and chopping, slicing, and sauteing to my hearts content. I love that after a day of dealing with work demands, the kitchen is my fortress; no one comes in and tells me what to do. But, sometimes life gets in… Continue Reading

Garlic scapes are a somewhat elusive produce as they are only available for a short time. The scape itself is the flower stem… Continue Reading

I’ll admit: this recipe was a long shot. I knew I would like it; I was pretty sure M would be calling for Chinese food. He’s not a huge eggplant fan, and quite frankly, the thought of my husband eating a tart made entirely out of vegetables was laughable. That man never stops surprising me.… Continue Reading

This recipe originally came from my Mom. Whether she found it or made it up, I’m not sure. I first made it last Summer and M and I were both kind of “Eh” on it. I decided to give it another try, making some tweaks to suit our taste buds, and man was it good.… Continue Reading

Can we talk about the absolutely beautifully perfect weekend DC had? Saturday was spent outside, enjoying the Air Force Cycling Classic at our favorite dog-friendly restaurant Faccia Luna and then an evening walk to go get ice cream. Sunday, M and I got the pup out of bed early and crossed something off our DC… Continue Reading
